    Artist History
    A chance drunken encounter revealed a shared love of guitars, rap, recording and home made beats. Since early October 2001, Elton and Paul have been recording inside Paul’s Loft as often as possible. The most beneficial aspect of this pairing is the desire to create music that isn’t easily categorised. This allows a more open approach to songwriting and leads to a fusion of ideas.
    Group Members
    Hailing from New Zealand, Elton has a background of days spent in the sunshine rapping and jamming songs that reflect his upbeat outlook on life. England has provided a perfect environment for his writing style which encapsulates both city suave and country boy charm. Surrounded by a multitude of cables, Paul’s ambidextrous digits have been knob tweaking in his home studio for years. With a confusing array of electronic gadgetry, guitars and drums, Paul manipulates noises into luscious ear candy.
